Ventilation systems pump polluted air from our homes – which contains particulate matter and methane – into the environment.
Which is riskier for your health: a few days of very bad PM₂.₅ exposure or many more days of slightly bad exposure? Researchers developed new metrics to provide better answers.
Gas stoves are responsible for 12% of Australia’s childhood asthma. But replacing your cooktop might not be practical if you’re renting or struggling with cost-of-living.
As renewables account for a growing share of electricity supply, fossil fuel plants are increasingly used to balance fluctuations in renewable generation – emitting health-threatening pollutants.
The large-scale study linked exposure to air pollution with a higher infertility risk in men, while traffic noise affected women.
A set of graphics showing how air pollution has changed in cities around the world hopes to capitalise on the ability of striking visuals to motivate people.
Scientists have designed a powerful visual tool to make the invisible threat of air pollution more visible.
Any heater that burns fuel without adequate ventilation is dangerous in a home – and none are as safe or efficient as a reverse-cycle air conditioner.
As communities are exposed to wildfire smoke more regularly and over longer durations year after year, it is critical to consider what these changing exposure patterns mean for our long-term health.
The first thing to remember is that all smoke is harmful. Typically, if you can smell smoke, it’s at a level where it’s impacting your health.
Sports activities can expose you to pollutants that are hazardous to your health.
States could be in for another summer of unhealthy wildfire smoke as ‘zombie fires’ resurface in western Canada and more blazes break out in the dry conditions.
How long will it take for electric vehicles to cut emissions and improve air in our cities? Longer than we think – because petrol and diesel make up almost all of the fleet.
Lawsuits are inevitable, but an environmental lawyer explains why the EPA’s new power plant regulations are on solid ground.
For decades, big-box retailers have evaded federal regulation of the pollution their operations generate. But a new air emission rule in Southern California could become a model for state controls.
From synthetic fabrics to car exhaust to wildfires, exposure to environmental pollutants push the skin microbiome to adapt in ways that reduce its ability to protect the skin.
The new rule isn’t a mandate for electric vehicles, but it will sharply increase their market share over the coming decade.
Reducing particle pollution can save thousands of lives, but states need more data to inform better controls. An atmospheric scientist explains what data and actions are needed.
On Feb. 7, 2024, the EPA strengthened the federal limit for annual levels of fine particulate air pollution, or PM2.5. Many serious health effects have been linked to PM2.5 exposure.
